La Celle has managed to keep its typical Provencal feeling with its shaded
village square, the village wash house, the fountains, the game of French
bowls (petanque), and the ancient streets and houses.
The river Caramy crosses straight through the village giving a pleasant
atmosphere of freshness and greenery.
La Celle is aagricultural, and in particular, a viticultural community.
The red wines and the rosés (Var) are very fruity and well appreciated.
These wines, along with the Couvent Royal, a 12thc. Benedictine Abby,
are the pride of the people from La Celle.
The Abby of La Celle has been through many different periods
af Provence, prosperous times, wars and secessions.
An ambitious restoration
project has been started and the Logis du Prieur (the prior's residence)
in the gardens, will be transformed into a luxurious hotel-restaurant
as it had been during the war in 1945. General de Gaulle stayed there
several times.
